After years of frustration and futile attempts to bring about change, an impassioned cadre of local residents, led by a team of intrepid and dedicated lawyers, brought suit against one of the world's most powerful corporations-and, miraculously, they won. As vivid and fast-paced as a novel, Wastelands takes us into the heart of a legal battle over the future of America's farmland, and into the lives of the people who found the courage to fight. With unparalleled entrée in the courtroom, Corban Addison captures the stirring and unforgettable struggle to bring a modern-day monopoly to its knees, to force a once invincible power to change, to vindicate the rights of a long-suffering community, and finally to restore their heritage"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220802. 610 2 $a Smithfield Foods, Inc $x Trials, litigation, etc. 650 $a Pork industry and trade $x Law and legislation $z North Carolina. 650 $a Animal waste $x Law and legislation $z North Carolina. 650 $a Public nuisances $z North Carolina. 710 $a Addison, Corban, 1979-, $d New York : Alfred A.
